Windows 10: bluetooth issues - driving me mad, please help

I have a dell laptop E7470.

1. Bluetooth devices are connecting to "connected voice" options, sound does not come over the bluetooth headphones automatically, after doing a bit of research having to go into troubleshooting and apply fixes for setting the bluetooth headphones as default, it start working. Having to do this every single time.
2. Bluetooh headphones are not playing in stereo, when i run the headphone test in youtube, the left and right channels are all playing on both the headphones, there is no seperation
3. playing videos on youtube goes spinning, does not play sometimes, this is not due to bandwidth issues, but I believe connection to the bluetooth headphones

The above issues do not exist when playing through wired headphones.

Kindly help. I have tried all removing devices, repairing them; resetting the bluetooth headphones using manufacturer specific options; tried several bluetooth headphones.

Best Regards

:)

Optical Drive Issue

Hello Anak –

Appreciate your detailed return. Your added steps really helped.

Assuming I did the steps correctly, this is where I am now.

Screenshot 12 shows my CD Disc shortcut on my desktop.
Screenshot 10 shows the CD Drive shortcut listed in the “Send to” listing.
Screenshot 11 shows the “Send to” listing after the steps were taken, but the CD drive name is not listed.

So, it appears the steps did not work for me. And, I did try the steps, “If it still won’t do ……” and still no luck.

What do you think?
